2nd 12 (11) |
26th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Consistent over 5f, fourth to Blue Storm at Haydock two outings ago; 6f probably stretched his stamina at York next time and he shaped as if still in good form; goes well on a soft surface; major player with Oisin Murphy looking a significant jockey booking. |
9/1 |

12th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Consistent 5f handicapper who again made the frame at Haydock (soft) two weeks ago; his mark is unchanged but he has been unplaced on two previous attempts at 6f and stamina could be an issue. |

28th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won from American Affair over C&D in August (good) and quickly put a low-key AW run behind him when second over C&D three weeks ago; able to race off the same mark here and he's proven on slow ground; one to take seriously. |

21st Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Ended his 2023 campaign with a third of 20 in a 5f handicap at this meeting; he's made giant strides as a 4yo, winning 5f handicaps on good to soft at Musselburgh and Thirsk in the first half of the year before taking his form to a new level with a last-gasp win in the Portland last week (5.5f, good); 3lb wrong under his penalty but he overcame adversity at Doncaster and his style of racing means it is hard to gauge where his ceiling lies; one of two good chances for Jim Goldie. |
5/1 |

1st 16 (22) |
14th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
4yo who has enjoyed an excellent campaign, including two wins earlier in the season (5f, good to soft) and a close third to Shagraan off this mark at Haydock (5f, good) last Saturday; won at Carlisle last September when he last tackled 6f and there's every chance he'll be bang there. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 5 (11) |
7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Two wins from five races this year, latest at Thirsk (5f, good to soft) in June; close second to Jer Batt over C&D (good) next time, runner-up at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) since and there's every chance he'll continue to progress, especially if settling better than last time; key player. |

26th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Likeable filly who notched her fourth win of a busy campaign when storming home at Nottingham (5f, heavy) ten days ago; she's tough, genuine and impossible to rule out, but this is a warmer event and she's up 5lb. |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Three of her five wins have come over C&D (good to soft and soft), the latest last month off 4lb lower; she's a better filly now than when second to Badri in this race last year off an 8lb lower mark and although latest start was a tame effort, she should be more potent back at this venue. |

21st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |

Two agonising defeats in midsummer at Windsor and Doncaster; ran respectably at Haydock last time without suggesting he is the answer to a competitive race such as this. |
25/1 |

6th 1 (9) |
4th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Has gone very close at Windsor (5f, good to firm) and Doncaster (5f, good) the last twice; the handicapper has reacted only lightly and he can be bang there if conditions are suitable (unproven on slow ground). |

5th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |

The stars aligned at Musselburgh last time, overcoming trouble in running to narrowly win a 5f handicap; no doubt he has the ability to feature off his revised mark but he wouldn't be an obvious one to follow up. |

1st 2 (7) |
15th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 5 |

Drawn a blank since his C&D win in April 2022; has run some good races in defeat this season but last time wasn't one of them; now drops into Class 5 company for the first time; opposable for win purposes all the same. |

Pace-setter who ran well when second of 13 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) in July but has failed to repeat the form twice since; at least as effective at 6f and may bounce back; having first run at Chester today. |

Neck runner-up here (6f, good to firm) last June on final run last season and he's also gone very close on two of his three starts this year (5f, AW/good to firm); ran pretty well on heavy going here in 2022 on sole encounter with slow ground; this front-runner can make another bold bid. |

All three wins have come on turf but she is effective on AW and ran well at Newcastle on her final run for Karl Burke (sold for 42,000gns in October); solid contender down in grade and back against her own sex. |
